Posted: October 10, 2014 |
Decatur, Texas, USA - The Cancer Center at Wise Regional has declared that they are providing MammoSite therapy for breast cancer patients. The Cancer Center at Wise Regional, one of the top facilities for breast cancer treatment in Texas, has announced its inclusion of MammoSite therapy as a part of its treatment options for breast cancer patients. Providing this highly effective treatment, says the founder of the Cancer Center at Wise Regional, is just one of the ways that the treatment center has made a commitment to support its patients with cutting-edge therapies. “We are dedicated as a team to providing our breast cancer patients with access to the latest treatment developments,” says Dr. Gregory Echt, founder and leading oncologist at the Cancer Center at Wise Regional. “MammoSite therapy offers breast cancer patients hope for a more effective, least invasive treatment option that can also return them to their normal activities more quickly.” MammoSite therapy works in tandem with a lumpectomy. Once the tumor is removed, a MammoSite therapy balloon is inserted into the remaining cavity. A catheter is attached to the balloon and remains on the outside of the incision. The balloon is filled with a saline solution and the catheter is secured outside the breast. The MammoSite treatment itself is a five day therapy during which the outside of the catheter is attached to a machine that delivers a precise amount of radiation through the tube into the tumor cavity. The balloon is removed after the five day treatment period. The advantages of the MammoSite therapy, says Dr. Echt, include the ability to reduce treatment from weeks to days, to offer improved cosmetic results, to reduce side effects, and to eliminate local occurrences of breast cancer. “We are proud to offer our patients access to MammoSite therapy and we consider it to be one of our best, most effective methods for treatment,” says Dr. Echt. “For us, treatment is all about making sure our patients are comfortable, can return to their normal actives as fast as possible, and, most importantly, can expect positive results with a future of good health.” Established by leading radiation oncologist, Dr. Gregory Echt, the Cancer Center at Wise Regional provides a full range of cancer treatment options including chemotherapy, radiation therapy (IMRT, IGRT, and SBRT), prostate seed implantation, MammoSite therapy, access to PET/CT scanner, hormonal therapy, and combination therapy. About the Company: The Cancer Center at Wise Regional is a cancer care treatment center that unites some of the best cancer doctors and surgeons, medical oncologists, pathologists, and radiation oncologists.
